Queensgate Mall - Earthquake Damage Update

As Earthquake work continues at Queensgate Mall, Lower Hutt, Event Cinemas is expected to re-establish itself in the shopping mall, once its quake-damaged building is demolished and subsequently rebuilt.

Demolition work is expected to be finish by late February 2017
